+
+Matchbox by [@jkhelsing] is a new peer-to-peer networking project for
+establishing unreliable, unordered connections between peers on the internet.
+The goal is to enable low-latency multiplayer games written in Rust WASM.
+
+Matchbox consists of:
+
+- A tiny signalling server, [`matchbox_server`], which acts as a rendezvous
+point. It helps peers discover each other and deal with NAT traversal in order
+to establish more direct ways of communication.
+- A crate, [`matchbox_socket`], which handles connecting to a signalling server
+and establishing a WebRTC data channel between each connected peer.
+- A [demo/template project][matchbox_demo] using [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org)
+and [GGRS] to implement a web game with peer-to-peer rollback netcode. A live
+version is hosted [here][helsing_box_game].
+
+More info is available in the [repository][Matchbox] and [introductory blog
+post][matchbox_intro].
